A shred company's schedule is mostly recurring service, interrupted constantly by phone calls: skip this week, come Thursday instead, add a purge, we're closed for the holiday. Scheduling software earns its keep by making those changes fast and safe.
Patterns it has to support
- Weekly and every two, three or four weeks on a set weekday
- Monthly on a date, with a sensible rule for short months
- Monthly on a pattern, like the second Tuesday
- On call, for clients who phone when the bin is full
- One-time purges and cleanouts
Changes it has to handle
- Skip, move or add a single visit without touching the plan
- Holidays and closures that shift visits automatically
- Pausing a plan and picking it back up later
- Changing a plan's frequency without rewriting past history
- Showing you the effect before you save, such as 'this cancels 6 future visits'
A test for any demo
Ask the vendor to set up a client on 'monthly on the 31st', move it past a holiday, pause it for a month and change it to every two weeks. Then look at the calendar. If anything looks wrong, it will look wrong on your routes too.
How Trakro does it
Trakro's service plans cover weekly, every N weeks, monthly by date or pattern, on call and one-time purges. Holidays shift visits, plans can be paused, and Trakro shows you how many future visits a change affects before you save. The scheduling engine is covered by automated tests for month-ends, holidays, pauses and plan edits.
Let Trakro handle the paperwork.
Certificates, chain of custody and invoices, built from every stop.
